8:18 Lyrics

Streets dawn with empty light
Bullets clutter the sidewalks
The gun trembles in a young man’s hand
The mother visits a grave site
They ask why we suffer
Oh God please answer
Rivers run, mountains peak
We remain scared (we remain scared)
I try to remember
You and me together
Rivers run, mountains peak
We all remain scared
It’s so abrupt
The life designed for us
It’s so abrupt (reach out, end fear)
The life designed for us (reach out, end fear)
They ask why we suffer
Oh God please answer
Rivers run, mountains peak
We remain scared (we remain scared)
The city mourns another loss
But we’ll pray forever
Rivers run, mountains peak
I know you’re there

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
